respray i have a red vk thats fading bad , but thats just the color red in general lol..best bet is a respray. if u know someone it may work out cheaper for u , but depending on ur options u choose with paint etc. can cost u a fair bit if ur gonna go all out with it. Bretto

depending on how many k's ur motor has done , i usually recommend penrite 30 that is the only oil i use in my car , if ur motor has done about 300.000 plus k's give it a go with some penrite 50 :thumbsup:

i recommend 'penrite 30'
